Bye Bye Johnny

Drew out all her money from the Southern Trust

Put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus

Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West

Down came the tears from her happiness

Her own little son called Johnny B. Goode

Is gonna make some motion pictures back in Hollywood

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye

Goodbye, Johnny

Goodbye, Johnny B. Goode

She remembered taking money out from gathering crops

And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop

As long as he could play it by the railroad side

And wouldn't get in trouble, she was satisfied

Never thought that there would be a day like this

When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye

Goodbye, Johnny

Goodbye, Johnny B. Goode, alright

She finally got the letter she was dreaming of

Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love

As soon as he was married, he would bring her back

Build a mansion for her by the railroad track

So every time they heard the locomotive roar

They'd be standing, waving at the kitchen door

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye

Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye

Goodbye, Johnny

Goodbye, Johnny B. Goode

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, Johnny

Goodbye, Johnny B. Goode

One more time, one more time

Bye, bye, bye, bye

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye

Goodbye, Johnny

Goodbye, Johnny B. Goode
